Takemoto and Ikegami are much higher than him, so he wants to address them as adults.
Ishihara Hiroshi is a businessman, so it is inappropriate to address him as “sir.”
But he understands that the two adults together are not as important as Ishihara Hiroshi. These three people will be his thighs from now on, especially Ishihara Hiroshi. He wants to rise to the top and have better development in the future, and he cannot do without Ishihara Hiroshi's help.
Takemoto can only take care of him for a while, and helping him to be promoted to captain is the limit.
If he wants to be promoted to an assistant officer in the future, he must rely on Ishihara Toru. "I have a new mission tomorrow, so I won't send you to school."
After the food and drinks were served, Ikegami said to Inoue that Colonel Goto was very kind to him now. If he had any tasks, he would be assigned first so that he could make meritorious service and be promoted as soon as possible.
Chishang understood that this was the result of his several gifts and his own performance.
No wonder Toru Ishihara said at the beginning that performance alone is not enough and that relationships must be smoothed out.
He finally understands now that relationship is the most important part.
If he hadn't given Colonel Goto two heavy gifts, why would every good thing happen to him? If you want to perform, you need opportunities. Without opportunities, there will be no performance.
You can only do something like putting out a fire once. If you do it more, you will definitely be suspected by others.
He is really grateful to Ishihara Hiroshi now.
Not only did he give him heavy gifts, but he also taught him many things. Chi Shang's words moved Chu Lingyun's heart, but he said nothing. "I don't have time tomorrow either."
Takemoto said regretfully that it was not that he had a mission, but that he needed to work tomorrow, and it happened to be his turn to be on duty, so he couldn't leave.
It's okay to ask for leave, but now is the key to his promotion, so it's not good to ask for leave at this time.
There are only those places for promotion. He has occupied a place. There must be others who cannot be promoted. At this time, everyone is staring at each other.
"It doesn't matter, I'll see Inoue off tomorrow."
Chu Lingyun smiled, and Inoue was very grateful and offered a toast.
After drinking for three rounds, Chu Lingyun suddenly asked: "Chishang Jun, do you still have the amulet I gave you last time?"
"I have it with me, look."
Ikegami immediately took out the amulet from his neck. It was specially given to him by Mr. Ishihara who was worried about his safety during the Shanghai War.
When his leg was scratched by a shell, he wondered if it was the amulet that kept him from being killed.
Many of his companions died in the battle, but he was lucky enough to survive.
From then on, he carried the amulet with him every day.
"Just take it with you. Even though you are in the air, you are still in danger. I feel relieved if you take it with you."
"It's okay. Nantong City will be bombed tomorrow. There is no air defense force there, so don't worry."
Chishang smiled. They would be in danger only in places with air defense and air force. There were very few places like this around Shanghai.
Chishang has no worries. "I can rest assured that."
Chu Lingyun smiled, the information was already in hand, no specific time was needed, just knowing it would be tomorrow.
The Japanese army laid siege to Nantong. The defensive force in Nantong City was not strong. If the Japanese army had not dispersed their operations, they would have captured the city long ago.
"Ikegami-kun will definitely be able to make a contribution this time. We congratulate Ikegami-kun."
Takemoto picked up the wine glass, Chishang laughed happily, and everyone clinked a glass together.
Inoue looked at them with envy. Both Mr. Ikegami and Mr. Takemoto would be successful in the future. He needed to learn and wait. He had to complete his studies as soon as possible and become a qualified officer.
In the future, he cannot be too much lower than the two adults.
Back at his residence, Chu Lingyun immediately called Chu Yuan: "Send power to the headquarters. The Japanese army will bomb Nantong City tomorrow and let the defenders in the city pay attention."
"yes."
Chu Yuan quickly went to send the report, and Wuhan quickly received Chu Lingyun's secret report.
The contents of the telegram were first presented to Secretary Qi. No matter how late it is, as long as there is important information, he must be notified first. This is an order.
"Give electricity to the Nantong defenders and tell them to pay attention to air defense.
Secretary Qi
There is no report to Virgo. This information is very important, but they only need to help convey it, and Virgo does not need to handle it personally.
They knew Japan's bombing plan in advance, but unfortunately, they could only avoid it and could not make counterattack arrangements.
Nantong City lacked anti-aircraft guns and could not pose a threat to Japanese aircraft.
Not only Nantong, many places did not have enough anti-aircraft weapons. Soldiers used machine guns to shoot aircraft in the sky.
If the plane flies high enough, the machine guns are useless, and the plane is easy to dodge.
They can only fill the gap in weapons and equipment with human lives.
Early the next morning, Hayakawa Ping went out to find a suitable location to open a trading company. He did not have to worry about money, the Chinese would give it to him, and half of the money earned by the trading company in the future would belong to him.
What he has to pay is to help the Chinese get information.
Nothing is as important as money. With money, he can live a better life in the future. No matter whether China is defeated or Japan is defeated, only with enough money can he avoid this whirlpool.
His greatest pleasure is also to make money.
He visited the French Concession and the Public Concession, and finally selected a suitable location within the French Concession.
If he was only doing business, he would open his business in Nanshi, which was Japanese territory.
But if he wants to get information, the most suitable place is in the concession.
The storefront was very large, with four rooms and three floors upstairs. Originally, a German business was operating here, but the German was about to return to China, so he transferred the business.
Hayakawa Ping simply took over the business and saved himself the trouble of rearranging it.
This exceeded the budget by a lot, but Chu Lingyun still agreed. Hayakawa Ping would pay for the extra part after making money.
The sooner Hayakawa Hei gets the business done at the business office, the better he can perform his tasks.
If Hei Hayakawa was purely Japanese and had no identity, it would be difficult for him to contact Goto United.
Chu Lingyun understood this truth, and besides, he only had 10,000 yen more to help him advance.
Hayakawa Hei had someone redecorate the signboard. Looking at the big words Yagyu Trading Company, a smile appeared on his face.
He finally had his own business again, and he was very satisfied with the start.
This business is bigger than the one he ran in Wuhan. The more than a year of waiting has not been in vain. The bigger the business, the more money it will make in the future.
"Send these letters for me."
Hei Hayakawa wrote several letters in the office and sent them to the same place.
If he wanted to buy a plane from the Goto Alliance of the Ministry of Aviation, he could not do it alone. His reputation was too small. No matter how high the bid was, Goto Takeshi would not be able to sell the plane to him.
He needs a middleman to help him broker the deal.
Taro Yagyu is from Osaka, and many of his friends are also from Osaka.
Hayakawa Hei had already learned Taro Yagyu's handwriting, and these friends had not seen him for many years, so they would not be suspicious of the letter.
Hayakawa Hei basically knew everyone Taro Yagyu knew.
Zhang Chenghuan took the envelope and opened the letter in front of Hayakawa Hei. The letter was written in Japanese, and Zhang Chenghuan understood Japanese.
It's a general statement, but you can understand it.
The letter was sent to several officers of Japan's Fourth Division, all of whom were old acquaintances of Taro Yagyu. The content was nothing, just reminiscing about old times. He had not contacted them for several years and asked them how they were doing recently and whether they had made any money.
The envelope and letter paper were both prepared by Zhang Chenghuan. He watched Hayakawa Ping write and found no code, so Zhang Chenghuan had the letter delivered.
However, before sending it out, it will be handed over to the team leader to make sure it can be sent out before sending it out.
"A letter reminiscing about old times?"
After reading the contents of several letters, Chu Lingyun smiled, and he understood Hayakawa Ping's thoughts.
Hayakawa knew that he could not directly purchase the aircraft, so he made a roundabout way and asked others for help.
The soldiers of the Japanese Fourth Division are basically from Osaka, so they are also called the Osaka Division.
For this division, Chu Lingyun
Not unfamiliar.
One of the three great auspicious signs in the Japanese military, the Osaka Division was highly hyped in later generations. It is said that it is not good at anything and ranks first in making money.
This statement is a bit exaggerated. The Fourth Division is Japan's Class A division and still has combat strength. Unfortunately, it is all soldiers from Osaka.
These soldiers were similar to Hayakawa Hei in that they were unwilling to die. They did not have as strong a sense of collective honor as other divisions, and they did not have the so-called bushido spirit.
War can always be delayed. Wherever the army goes, they will do business.
Later the war ended and Japan surrendered.
The soldiers of other divisions were skinny, but the Osaka division had red faces. Not all of them were fat, but at least there was no sign of hunger.
Not only that, after the surrender, they immediately started business with the locals and dared to sell anything. When they returned to the country, they started business again. Every soldier returned home with a bulging wallet.
"Send it."
After Chu Lingyun read it, he handed over the letter directly. There was nothing wrong with these letters. Even if Hayakawa Hei wanted to play tricks, he would not do it at this time.
What Chu Lingyun wanted was a plane. Whether it was Hayakawa Hei or the Osaka Division, it would be enough if he could get the plane.
But before that, the plane must not be destroyed.
Hayakawa Ping can definitely do this. If he can't even do this, he will live up to Chu Lingyun's expectations for the fat man.
The letter was sent as normal, and Hayakawa went about his business.
He contacted not only the Goto Wing of the Aviation Ministry, but also many Japanese garrison troops and sent a large number of gifts. In just three days, he sent various gifts worth 10,000 yen.
Zhang Chenghuan had to report to Chu Lingyun that he spent too much money.
Chu Lingyun's reply only had one word, give it.
Hayakawa Hei is a person who knows how to do business and knows how to invest. Without the initial investment, there will be no later returns. The money will not be given away in vain, and it will definitely help him earn it back later.
On the fifth day, Hayakawa Ping packed himself up and visited Goto Takeshi at home.
He had given gifts before and won the right to supply some of the products of the Second Alliance. This time he was going to express gratitude and the gift he gave was heavier.
"Goto-sama."
When he arrived at Goto Takeshi's home, Hei Hayakawa greeted him respectfully. He was wearing a mask but did not take it off.
Goto Takeshi knew that his face was ugly when burned, so he didn't care.
"Yagyu is here, sit down."
Taro Yagyu is very good at talking, and he was contacted through relationships. Taro Yagyu's uncle was once a good friend of Colonel Shimada.
Colonel Shimada is not in Shanghai, but is currently in Nanjing, but he made a special call and asked Goto Takeshi to take care of this junior.
It was not easy for Taro Yagyu. When doing business in China, he encountered war and was badly burned. Fortunately, he survived. All you need to do is give him some help within your ability.
Besides, Goto Takeshi didn't have any help, and he liked the gift sent by Taro Yagyu very much.
"Goto-sama, thank you very much for your help."
Hayakawa Hei put the gift box aside. The gift box was not big but heavy. Goto Takeshi knew at a glance that it contained gold bars.
"You're welcome. I'm Shimada's friend. Shimada has taken special care of me. This little favor is nothing."
Goto Takeshi laughed and Hayakawa Hei nodded slightly: "I have one more thing to ask for this time."
"I heard that there are five aircraft to be abandoned at our Baoshan airport. Is this true?"
"Yes, why, are you interested in airplanes?"
Goto Takeshi frowned immediately. It was easy to talk about other things. The plane was not an ordinary thing. He could not give this thing to Yagyu Taro.
If he did, he would be in trouble if he was found out.
"It's not me, it's a friend of mine. Colonel Sekiya of the Fourth Division is a fellow countryman of mine. He heard about this and he was interested in those five aircraft."
Hayakawa Hei shook his head slightly, he couldn't buy a plane, he knew this very well.
"Fourth Division, what do they want the plane for?"
It's not just that Taro Yagyu wants it, he can't give it to him if he wants it. The Fourth Division is Japan's Class A division, so if they want it, there's no problem.
"I don't know about this. I'm just helping to spread the word. Colonel Sekiya will probably send someone here, so I hope you won't destroy the plane before his people arrive."
Hei Hayakawa shook his head and Goto Takeshi immediately understood what he meant.
He knew very well what the Fourth Division was like.
These all-pervasive female businessmen could actually smell the business opportunities on his side.
Those five planes in his hands will only have the fate of being dismembered. If the Fourth Division really wants them, as long as they can complete the procedures, there is no problem in giving them to them.
In a normal delivery, even if something goes wrong, the superiors will not blame him.
However, they couldn't get five planes for nothing, and they couldn't lose a penny of the benefits they deserved.
"Okay, don't worry, I will order the five aircraft to be maintained and kept safe first."
"Thank you, Goto-sama."
Hayakawa Taira achieved his goal and left quickly. After he left, Goto Takeshi opened the gift box he sent. Sure enough, there were ten large gold bars inside. He put away the gift box with satisfaction.
He now has some expectations for those five planes.
The aircraft in his hands was a scrap, and it was impossible to sell it. He handed it over to the Fourth Division, and apparently he would not charge a penny. He did not sell it, but gave it to friendly forces.
But without a gift that satisfies him, no one can take away these five planes.
Back at the trading house, Hayakawa Hei breathed a sigh of relief.
Goto Takeshi relented, and the plane matter was half done. In fact, Colonel Sekiya did not reply to his letter. He went to protect the plane first in the name of Colonel Sekiya.
As for whether Colonel Sekiya would be interested in airplanes, he didn't know.
But Colonel Sekiya is definitely interested in money. He knows Sekiya very well.
Gu Dazuo's temperament can make him make money, let alone airplanes, even he dares to sell them to the emperor.
As long as you give them money, there is nothing they dare not sell.
